For many people, one of the discouraging things about joining online programs
is the need for a home classroom. The problem is twofold when you do
not have enough space for it. However, here are a few useful ideas that
can help you create a structured study area, notwithstanding lack of
free space.

Spread the learning area all through the house

If
it’s hard for you to find a dedicated area for study in your house,
consider studying in different areas of the house. You can easily set up
a desk in your bedroom, while the computer can be set up in the living
room. Dining area can do double duty as workstation.

Using
different learning areas can be extremely helpful as it can lead to
change in the scenery, making it less monotonous. It is also a great
idea to buy a laptop (which can be easily moved around) instead of a
desktop if you are tight on space.

Convert unused closet area into a learning area

If
you do not have an extra room for use as a home classroom, try
exploiting unused closet areas. There are several online tutorials on
how to convert your closet into a study room. It is a great way of
organizing your study stuff.

Build and organize your own desk

In
case you have only a small area you can allot for a learning space, say
a hallway or a corner of the living room, you can build your desk and
customize it to suit your requirement. There are again many online
tutorials on how to build and customize your desk to suit your needs
within the space available.

You can also plan to build or buy a
Murphy desk, which makes for a great and compact workspace. You can fold
up or down the desk when you need it, and can make it fade into the
wall when there is no use for it. Murphy desks are extremely useful and
easy to fit in any space.

Give your supplies a place of their own

Whether
it’s a big plastic bin, a bookcase, a closet, or a drawer, give
specific places to your supplies. A great idea is to keep similar items
together – pencils and crayons in one container, and so on.

This
helps in keeping all the mess to a minimum. There are numerous
stationery items you can use for keeping your stuff organized, including
wicker baskets, mason jars, file folders, crate seats, ring binders,
and more.

Online learning can be great fun and enjoyable if you
are attuned to it that way. Make sure you take your program seriously
and give yourself the environment that facilitates you to sit down and
study. There cannot be an excuse like a small space for study.

With
so many tools available in the market, you can easily build your own
nook at the most reasonable prices. Moreover, if you have small
children, they too can use this study area for homework.
